After a several year hiatus, Vehemence returns with "Forward Without Motion" and picks up right where they left off. The new album features a higher pitched vocal delivery from Nathan Gearhart but also retains his guttural growl that I'm a huge fan of. The insane amount of riffs on this album is an air guitarist's wet dream and the solos are just wicked. The songwriting is pretty decent and they continue to throw out outrageous song titles such as "She Fucks Like She's Alive". All in all, "Forward" is a great return to form and a great use of foreshadowing as the band clearly plan to move forward in their artistic evolution. I for one am glad that Vehemence is back!
